FIXING "O" IMEI Moto G5+

[mikesal57]

Please dont ask for files because I cant linked them...
But I'll give you steps if I can remember...

Get Moto G5+ ToolKit....(its searchable on XDA)
Get one of the earliest Retail Potter Files( NOT CEDRIC) ...the one I used is POTTER_RETAIL_7.0_NPNS25.137-35-5_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip

extract ROM in a clean folder
open ToolKit
put phone in fastboot ( volumn down + power)
select START
Connect Phone to PC ( Toolkit should turn Red to Yellow)
In Toolkit select "Flash Stock ROM"
navigate to your Folder with Stock ROM and select folder
when you click open it will flash...
wait till , in LOG, it says reboot about 2-3-mins
Go to phone and select POWER OFF
restart phone and let it do its thing
you still wont have cellular

shut down phone

Boot back to FastBoot "START"

Nowback in ToolKit

click in order Flash TWRP.....Flash boot_image......flash wlan_custom

I believe after wlan flash it will reboot in TWRP

while in there Install wlan_custom

Power Off and reboot phone

your cellular should be back ( I hope)

let me know

do not do OTA updates...TWRP will boot and your messed up again...

My next step is to install 64 TWRP and then an OREO Rom

wish us luck!!!

If you want OTA update s

Go repeat putting STOCK ROM back on Phone with ToolKit
